It could just be the stuff that the algorithm shoves in front of me, but I think the opponent is on the ropes. No let up, folks.

Tom Service, BBC Radio 3, Saturday Morning, Interview with American mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato. Possibly the interview of the year.
Tom doing what BBC news and current affairs woefully fail to do.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's not my BBC
I submitted a complaint to the BBC about its coverage of the latest ICE shooting, not that I think it will do much good

If a significant number of ICE recruits are illiterate, then the US education system, rather than immigrants, might be the problem. You can't argue that immigrants somehow took away the opportunity to be literate. The necessary resources were already flowing unchecked to the rich. It's by design.

Well done, Petroc Trelawny re Kennedy Center on BBC Radio 3.

2026 is going to be a year of resistance, opposition and challenge. So make it also one of co-operation, mutual support, coalition, amplification and choosing when and where to push back. Many more good folks than bad.

Many many more good folks than bad. Take a minute to help push this one over the line, thank you.
